Apologies to Matteo for my bad memory. I just checked and . . . it seems
there was NEVER an Italian channel on WWW!!! The "Veteran Unix Admins"
(VUA) https://vua.tidyhq.com/ were active at the time and several Devuan
developers hung out there. That may be why a Devuan specific Italian
channel was never created. My forgetfulness is especially egregious
because I helped to create that site and admined it until Chimaera when
Xenguy took over the task.

I'll go stand in a corner now . . . :D
